Abstract :
This work describes an FPGA implementation of a microprogrammable controller to perform the ATM layer functions of an ATM switch. The controller implements several algorithm types, by changing microinstructions programming only. The description and functionalities of the main blocks that compose its architecture are presented as well the simulation and synthesis methodology used to target it on FPGA devices
